SUMMARY:Book Signing: South Carolina in 1865 by Karen Stokes!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, February 5th when we welcome author Karen Stokes to Main Street Reads to sign copies of the fascinating new release: South Carolina in 1865 from History Press. \nThe year 1865 brought an end to the war in America\, but it also ended a civilization that had existed for nearly two centuries in South Carolina. Plantations\, churches\, farms\, factories and whole villages and towns were pillaged and burned by General William T. Sherman’s army\, and a once-thriving and wealthy state was reduced to poverty. \nWhile Columbia burned\, besieging Union troops swept in and occupied the undefended city of Charleston\, which Sherman called “a mere desolated wreck\,” and then launched raids into the surrounding countryside\, including the rich plantation lands of Berkeley County. The surviving records of this period are numerous and revealing\, and author Karen Stokes presents many of the eyewitness accounts and memoirs of those who lived through it. \nKaren Stokes has been an archivist at the South Carolina Historical Society in Charleston for more than twenty-five years. Her special area of interest is the Confederate period\, and she has authored and edited numerous books and articles on the subject\, including three History Press publications: South Carolina Civilians in Sherman’s Path (2012)\, The Immortal 600: Surviving Civil War Charleston and Savannah (2013) and Confederate South Carolina: True Stories of Civilians\, Soldiers and the War (2015). Her most recent scholarly books\, published by Mercer University Press\, are An Everlasting Circle: Letters of the Haskell Family of Abbeville\, South Carolina\, 1861–1865 (2019)\, and Incidents in the Life of Cecilia Lawton: A Memoir of Plantation Life\, War\, and Reconstruction in Georgia and South Carolina (2021).

SUMMARY:Living Large Bookclub: The Violin Conspiracy
DESCRIPTION:This month’s Living Large Bookclub will take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month and feature a chat around the new incredible debut novel\, The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb. Grab it from Main Street Reads or our online shop HERE... \nGrowing up Black in rural North Carolina\, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. If he’s lucky\, he’ll get a job at the hospital cafeteria. If he’s extra lucky\, he’ll earn more than minimum wage. But Ray has a gift and a dream–he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist\, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother\, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music. \nWhen he discovers that his great-great-grandfather’s beat-up old fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius\, all his dreams suddenly seem within reach. Together\, Ray and his violin take the world by storm. But on the eve of the renowned and cutthroat Tchaikovsky Competition–the Olympics of classical music–the violin is stolen\, a ransom note for five million dollars left in its place. Ray will have to piece together the clues to recover his treasured Strad … before it’s too late. \nWith the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray’s great-great-grandfather asserting that the instrument is rightfully theirs\, and with his family staking their own claim\, Ray doesn’t know who he can trust–or whether he will ever see his beloved violin again.
